Title: Grey-scale image enhancement
Inventor: OYAMADA OUICHI
IPC: H04N1/409
Filed: 1996-11-22
Abstract: Two grey values for an original image, such as a facsimile image, are stored in a memory, 1 the image enhancement device 2' reads the grey values from the two greyscale image input memory 1 and enhances their pixels by enlarging them. The multiple grey-level converter 11 in the grey scale converter 10 converts the two grey values for the pixels into multiple grey values, and stores the multiple grey values in the multi- greyscale image input memory 4. The low-pass filter 6 then reads the grey values for the enhanced multi-greyscale image input memory 4, extracts low frequency elements to smooth the outline of the image and stores the low frequency elements in a memory 5. The determination means 12a of the two grey level converter 12 in the grey scale converter 10 reads multiple grey values from the memory 5. The grey values that are read are changed to two grey values by referring to the set value that is stored in advance in the set value area 12b and the two grey values are stored in the two greyscale image output memory 3.

Title: Method of production of optical connector
Inventor: SHIMOJI NAOKO
IPC: G02B6/36
Filed: 1997-10-14
Abstract: A method of production of an optical connector which can adjust a protruding length of a bare optical fiber (7) from a connection end face (3) of a ferrule. At a step (a), an optical fiber core wire (5) is inserted through an optical fiber connection hole (4) of the ferrule (1), and the bare optical fiber (7) and the ferrule (1) are heated at a first curing temperature to cure a thermosetting adhesive (11). At the next step (b), the connection end face (3) is polished to make an end face flush with the distal end face of the bare optical fiber (7). At the next step (c), the thermosetting adhesive (11) is again heated and cured at a temperature higher than the first curing temperature and the distal end of the bare optical fiber (7) is allowed to protrude from the connection end face (3) by utilizing the pistoning phenomenon due to this re-heating curing. This protruding distance is adjusted by controlling either one, or both, of the re-curing temperature and the retention time at that temperature.

Title: Controlling heating element usable for flow or thermal conductivity measurement
Inventor: STARK HARTMUT
IPC: G01F1/688
Filed: 1998-11-17
Abstract: A thermal element 2 (ie an electrically heated element which comprises a junction 7 between two dissimilar materials so that the element produces a DC voltage related to its temperature), is arranged in a gas atmosphere 2, and is kept by means of an AC voltage source 11 at a working temperature that is higher than the gas temperature. The thermal element voltage is separated from the AC voltage, as shown by a low pass filter 12, and compared at 14 with a predetermined reference voltage U b  related to the desired working temperature of the thermal element. The difference signal controls the AC voltage source 11 to maintain the thermal element at the desired temperature. The AC voltage is rectified at 16, and displayed 18. In alternative embodiments, the AC current may be measured as the voltage across a series resistor, or the AC voltage may be disconnected from the element at intervals, and the DC voltage determined at that time. The element may be used to measure thermal conductivity of a static gas in channel 3, or the flow rate of a gas in channel 3, the measurement being determined in either case from the power required to maintain the thermal element at a constant temperature above the temperature of the gas atmosphere 2.

Title: System and method for changing subscriber service features in a radio telecommunications network
Inventor: FOTI GEORGE
IPC: H04W8/18
Filed: 1997-12-16
Abstract: A method and system for changing subscriber service features in a radio telecommunications network is disclosed. The method begins by a subscriber originating a call from a telephone (34) located in a telecommunications network to a roamer port (37) located within a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) (27) which may be located inside or outside the subscriber's home coverage area. The MSC sends a dial tone (49) to the telephone. Next, the subscriber sends a feature code (51) and Mobile Identification Number (MIN) through the telephone to the MSC requesting a service feature change. The MSC recognizes and verifies the feature code as a valid code. The MSC also associates a service feature change corresponding to the feature code and associates the MIN with a HLR (45). The MSC sends a feature request invoke message (53) to the associated HLR requesting a service feature change. Then, the HLR implements the service feature change in the HLR. If the roamer port coverage encompasses more than a single MSC, and the subscriber is located in an MSC (52) that does not include the roamer port, the HLR updates the subscriber's categories in the MSC in which the subscriber is currently registered.

Title: Eliminating synchronization between sweep and allocate in a concurrent garbage collector
Inventor: KOLODNER HILLEL
IPC: G06F12/02
Filed: 1999-10-06
Abstract: A computer-implemented method for eliminating synchronization between sweep and allocate in respect of a newly created object in a concurrent garbage collector for a heap implemented in shared memory having mark and sweep phases. In a first collection cycle, a first attribute is associated with objects believed to be reachable and a second attribute is associated with objects believed to be unreachable, whilst for each successive collection cycle, the roles of the first and second attributes are exchanged. In accordance with conventional mark-sweep garbage collectors, the attribute is a colour: usually Black and White for objects which are believed to be reachable and unreachable, respectively. Exchanging the colours for each collection cycle eliminates the overhead in synchronising the colour marking of a new object depending on whether it is located in an area of the heap that has already been swept or has yet to be swept.

Title: Human body recognition method
Inventor: SHIMOSAKOTA YOSHINORI
IPC: G08B13/194
Filed: 1994-01-31
Abstract: PURPOSE:To improve the precision of human body recognition in the intruder monitor system or the like. CONSTITUTION:A circumscribed square including a change area due to an intrusive body is divided into three squares by a change area division processing, and the intrusive body is estimated in a person estimation processing 8 by features of the change area in each divided square. The open/close state of arms of an intruder is discriminated in an open/close state discrimination processing 9 based on the first feature quantity of a projection histogram, which is obtained by projecting the change areas in three squares on the axis of abscissas, and length and width ratios of the circumscribed square to a leg area. If it is discriminated that arms are open, a human body recognition processing 12 for open arms is performed to recognize the human body; and if it is discriminated that arms are close, the human body recognition processing 12 for close arms is performed to recognize the human body.
